THE "CULT" OF ROTARY
When some people hear "Rotary," they might think of some secret society with odd rituals. Some have even described it as a “cult.”
Why the odd perception? Maybe it's because Rotarians are committed to doing good in a way which involves individuals from diverse backgrounds, uniting to make positive change. It starts as a friendly neighborhood club, but then our enthusiasm for “service above self” spreads positivity throughout our community and the world!
If you believe being a Rotarian means you're part of a global family building lifelong relationships, connecting diverse perspectives, and honoring commitments, then that's exactly who we are. We rally behind important causes, as our leadership and vocational expertise help us tackle social issues effectively.
Our compassion might seem almost cult-like. Our desire to find lasting solutions to systemic problems is about persistence and passion. And if our hope, enthusiasm, and visionary approach to changing lives inspire others, we must be doing something right.
So, a cult? More like a close-knit community of passionate people committed to making the world a better place. Come join us!
